If you want to live poorly, about 600$ will land you a cheap 1-room apartment, I pay about 350$ for my apartment, that leaves you enough money for food for the month and maybe enough for 1-2 random fun stuff. I live on about 800$ a month now and it's a huge difference. I can eat at restaurants a lot if I want too, and I can afford stuff too besides food. At 10k$ You can live pretty well.

If you want to live in Stockholm, you need a lot more money, though. Stockholm is wicked expensive.

Love everyone, even those who hate you, because they need your love the most.

Wild park ups is a term I don't know, but I assume you are wondering if you can park anywhere you want? If so the answer is mostly yes, you can for a while if it's not "unsightly" or looks "ugly", you can in theory park anywhere you want with the use of common sense, i.e not in other people's yards XD

Cool, we are regaled with tales of the £10 pint and food so expensive ya gotta be rich, but I'm sure that's only like high end Stockholm? I'd love to travel in Sweden, I think the swedes are a friendly bunch, have a couple of friends I ain't seen for a while used to bring salty liquorice..WTF is THAT all about?

Those Mountains that you're carrying, you were only supposed to climb.

Haha, food in Sweden is expensive overall, unless you go with basic fresh veggies and make things from scratch. A meal at a restaurant outside of Stockholm generally costs 7.50$'s-isch. I think, don't quote me on this but a pint in Sweden costs about 3$'s. The thai restaurant here in my town charges 3$'s for a big bottle of thai beer. And that seems like a standard price for beer from a restaurant/pub, and it will be more expensive in Stockholm yes. But, that's what Systembolaget is for, it's an establishment that exists in almost every town that sells all manner of alcohol for quite cheap. I think you can get 1 can of beer for less then a dollar there. Prices will always vary a little bit between establishments.

Swedes are pretty friendly towards tourists. But not really to each other if you are not a conformist, if you are an alternative native you will get stared at, and you might hear some wtf shit said to you, but not that often anymore, thank God.

Haha, Was it those heavely salt coated things? Those are horrible! Sweden has some fucked up candy :P But also some really nice candy too.

And he's based on a person from the Dalarna region in Sweden, the dialect I mean. Which is sort of how I speak. I once asked a couple of American friends if I sound like that when I speak Swedish and they said yes, sort of. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater.

When I worked on markets (We had a bookstall), we once had two Swedish guys come to our stall. They spoke excellent English. I think they were - or had been - in the Swedish Air Force, because we spent awhile talking about the Swedish warplanes that can land and take off from their highways if necessary, which seemed amazing.

Yes theres a few stretches of motorway/autobahn in europe built for aircraft in the cold war .. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

I had the chance to go to Sweden to live a few years back near Gristlehamn,wish id gone now.Thats the part of Sweden id like to go to live,being an area of lakes and islands.I like the Swedish attitude and the freedom to roam and camp in the wilderness so long as you do it responsibly and respectfully.
The only thing that would put me off now is the change in immigration policy in Sweden and the imminent changes with Britain and EU due to Brexit.I have an ex army friend who has lived in Sweden several years and has been denied citizenship so when his employment contract finished he had to return to UK which he was not happy about.Sweden is one of the few countries i would definitely move to but that kind of uncertainty bothers me.

Hebridean at heart..everywhere else is just somewhere on the way back there...
